On a very pleasant day for sailing, the ILCA summer sprint series fleet arrived at Kinsale Yacht Club for round two. (Unfortunately, round one at Glandore Harbour was cancelled due to lack of wind).
John Stallard was the Officer of the Day and won five races across three fleets on a day that started with a light breeze and finished with a healthy southerly breeze.
Racing was held under Charles Fort, and many tourists and spectators from Charles Fort's vantage point easily observed some tight racing.
John Sullivan had a strong team of volunteers who laid marks and ensured safety on the water.
Sailors from South Africa, Australia, and Belgium attended the event in Kinsale.
Winners on the day:
Olin Bateman (ILCA7), Rob Jeffreys (ILCA6), Eolann Miles (ILCA4) and Lucy Foster(1st girl).
